1.Misery starring: Lauren Bacall, Kathy Bates, Wendy Bowers, Thomas Brunelle, James Caan August 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.24
If ever a movie has made me feel as trapped as its antagonist does, Misery stands right up there. I must admit that I have never read King's novel on which this film was based, but it didn't stop the movie from chilling my bones. It was an effort just to sit through it; it's that intense. James Caan and especially Kathy Bates deliver truly spectacular performances as popular (and, to his grudge, commercialised) writer Paul Sheldon and his psychotic "number one fan" Annie Wilkes. The movie has a justified reputation as a two-actor film, as the twisted relationship the characters share is what makes the movie so memorable. Bed-ridden after being saved from a car crash in the midst of a blizzard in the Rocky Mountains, Paul Sheldon finds himself at the mercy of Annie Wilkes, a deceptively ... Read More

2.The Shining starring: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers, Barry Nelson directed by: Stanley Kubrick June 12, 2001

'The Shining',where would we be without Stanley Kubrick's distorted version of Stephen King's classic novel?the horror industry would be at a standstill.This is my absolute favorite of horror-films,it's a very dark film indeed.Believe it or not,this film is not much like the novel the one made for TV in early 2000 had more elements from the book not mentioned in the 1980 version-which actually works for me:)kubrick unlocked the darkest doors to his imagination when he made this film.Everything from the creepy little twins,to the Timberline Lodge Hotel(shown as the Overlook Hotel in the movie).Down to the old song you hear in the ballroom which was written in the 20's or 30's by Ray Noble and his Mayfair Dance Orchestra and the eerie film score by Wendy Carlos.There's not too many people who haven't ...

4.Apt Pupil starring: Ian McKellen, Brad Renfro, Joshua Jackson, Mickey Cottrell, Michael Reid MacKay directed by: Bryan Singer April 13, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I loved Stephen King's Different Seasons, except for one thing. I always thought that the story APT PUPIL was about fifty pages too long. The film version takes care of this concern, distilling PUPIL down to it's basic elements: old evil passing itself on to a young, all too eager student. Ian McKellen (yep, Gandolf himself!) is perfectly, quietly malevolent as the ancient nazi war criminal, hiding out in suburbia. Brad Renfro plays Todd Bowden, the normal-looking high school kid, concealing a darkness that appears to be insatiable and without limits. Todd fools his family, friends, and guidance counselor (David Schwimmer), into believing he is just another highly gifted teenager. In reality, he is a sociopathic wretch, coasting along by gaining the misplaced trust of others. Studying the holocaust in history ... Read More

5.The Running Man starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, Jesse Ventura directed by: Paul Michael Glaser August 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
Picture this. Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger) is on chopper patrol when an order comes through to fire into an area where inoccent citizens stand. The order of course is obsured, and Richards declines, aborting the mission when his superior passes on orders to Richards' co-pilots to take control of the craft and resume the mission. In a struggle to do what is right, Richards attempts to to keep his co-pilots away from the controls, but fails in doing so as he is simply outmaned. About a year or two later, enter the game show "The Running Man." On the screen in front of a large live audience, we see the events that night of Richards aboard the chopper. The order comes through to not fire, as there are simply too many innocents in the area. Richards defies orders and proceeds to shoot down a number of innocents and ... Read More

6.Pet Sematary starring: Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Fred Gwynne, Brad Greenquist, Michael Lombard directed by: Mary Lambert September 17, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.07
Okay after reading a few reviews I felt the need to put some information in here so maybe some people can understand some things they didn't in the movie. Since it's based upon the book (which I have read) it is for the most part true to the book, but there is some things I have noticed that are not cleared up and some people are confused on, yes it really doesn't have much to do with the Pet Sematary, but this whole story was written based upon King's own experience, in the introduction of my book he tells about how this story came to be. He had moved to Maine to work at the university, and they lived along side a road just as bad as in the book, his son actually did almost make it into the road where a big 18 wheeler was well on its way but luckily for him he says either his son fell before he made it to the road or he pulled ...

7.Lawnmower Man (Unrated) starring: Jeff Fahey, Pierce Brosnan, Jenny Wright, Mark Bringleson, Geoffrey Lewis directed by: Brett Leonard March 18, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.49
If no one has heard of The Lawnmower Man series, this movie was a considered a breakthrough in movie magic in its time during the early 90's. Many people say this was the TRON movie of its era heavy on special effects and blazing visuals never seen in movie theaters. This was true and The Lawnmower Man was astounding when it first came out however it somehow lost its appeal since the special effects actually bring down the movie.

8.Silver Bullet starring: Gary Busey, Everett McGill, Corey Haim, Megan Follows, Robin Groves directed by: Daniel Attias January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.00
Stephen King is the king of horror, that's it, none other can compare! If you haven't ever seen Silver Bullet, shame on you! Order it today!

9.The Dead Zone starring: Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom, Anthony Zerbe directed by: David Cronenberg August 26, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.01
I saw this unintentionally as I went to the cinema to see the other film of a double feature. This was the most amazing surprise of my life. Unlike other King films, this isn't really horror - no goblins, unless you count the evil Stillson. Others have written well about this film. I'd just like to say that if you like psychological thrillers with a twist, you'll love this film.

10.Tales From the Darkside starring: Deborah Harry, Matthew Lawrence, Christian Slater, David Forrester, Robert Sedgwick directed by: John Harrison January 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.63
I was looking for this movie for a long time. I was thrilled when I finally found it on Amazon. I also remember watching the TV series back in the 80's. A young boy reads stories from a book to distract a witch who plans to eat him. This film has the very handsome, young Christian Slater; Deborah Harry from the 80's rock band Blonde; Steve Buscemi who played Mr. Pink in "Reservoir Dogs"; Rae Dawn Chong who also starred in "Quest for Fire"(another great film) and many other great actors. If you enjoyed "Twilight Zone: The Movie," you will definitely enjoy this film.
